The greatest battle of the new football season is not between any real world club but between the virtual giants of FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer. Konami’s game has always been the favourite but last year FIFA closed the gap to such a degree that the title race has never been closer. This year’s FIFA uses a completely new game engine, for the first time built specifically for the next gen consoles. But improved graphics and animation are only the half of it, with just as much focus going on the artificial intelligence thanks to the new "35 point decision engine". What this basically means is that every player on the pitch is fully aware of those around him and constantly thinking about tactics and position when not under your control.
Other changes include better modelled physics for taking a shot on goal, which take into account everything from air pressure to the angle of your foot. You’re also able to create your own special moves to replicate every possible trick from real life. There are also new game modes including Be A Pro which challenges you to play the role of a single player through a whole season or career. On top of this there are revamped online leagues to play a virtual season in the Premier League, Bundesliga, French League or Mexican 1st Division against real opponents. With 620 licensed teams, 30 offline leagues and 15,000 players as well FIFA might just have made enough new signings this year to put it over the top.

Better than FIFA 07 - NO! I spend most of my time playing on manager made, so i will talk about this, Fifa had a problem two years ago, in that all you had to do was send a half decent scout out to the likes of Africa and Europe and he would come back with a young player with attributes in the high 70's or low 80's, and yes this problem is back. why waste your hard earned cash (will come onto this in a moment) on players from other clubs when you can create a team of super players by simply sending out your scout - very... more info
Love It But ? Love the game play, love the realistic kits and love the feel of it. Hate the fact that when you get to a cup final it isn't played at Wembley but at your or your opponents home grounds WHY ? Wembley stadium is on there, use it. FA cup semi final, played at your home ground, whats that all about ?
Hate the fact that no matter how many times you upgrade your ground it looks exactly the same as the one you started with, WHY ? Lets hope Fifa 09 irons out those niggles.
WORST GAME IN THE HISTORY OF CONSOLES AND EVERYTHING THAT CAME BEFORE IT. EVEN CAVEMEN HAD SOMETHING MORE FUN TO PLAY!!!!!! I have just played FIFA '08 for the Xbox and I was so furious by it that I came down to the computer to warn anyone else who may wish to play this game.
In one word, it is abysmal. It is the worst game in living history. The players in it, be it Ronaldhino or Matty Markson from Achely Town, all have the same terrible first touch, taking too long to control the ball and completely unable to take a first time shot or pass. The box will boast that it makes a thousand decisions a second, but they will... more info
Better than Pro Ev believe it or not! I have always been a Pro Ev guy, way back to the days when it wasn't even called Pro Ev! I had always preferred the playing system, gameplay and basically everything about it compared to Fifa. I always felt that Fifa was a stilted game which did not allow any fluency or imagination whatsoever. Basically, i thought that if you understood football you would prefer Pro Ev. I recently purchased the new Pro Ev and as usual noticed a few changes here and there but nothing groundbreaking. The game seems to... more info
